Pity Party!!!

[Cheryl & Medo 3]

Why does this have to be so hard? Why does my husband have to be from one of the hardest countries to immigrate from???? Why couldn't he have been from Canada or England or some place that doesn't do AR/AP or at least a consulate that freakin' gives you a straight answer about what the heck is going on???

I feel like dragging all of us outside the embassy and grabbing big huge signs saying BRING OUR HUSBAND'S HOME!!!!!!! And marching back and forth screaming until they listen to us and see our tears and feel our pain and perhaps gain some compassion.

IM IN FOR THAT DOODLE I JUST TOLD MY HUSBAND THE SAME THING LAST WEEK. I WANT TO PICKET THE EMBASEY!!!

Do you have any idea what the average is for your embassy? 57 days does seem a bit long

I have these same feelings . Just talking to Samy and he is asking me why? why? what is the reason that they are taking so long and give us no answers? I don't have any frigging idea, but they have no compassion or care that we are waiting for so long with feelings that are struggling to survive this long distance wait. I wanna go picket too!!! JUST FINISH THE CASE AND TELL US THE ANSWER!!! NO MORE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT TIME LINE IN THESE CASES!!!

It's nothing. 57 days is nothing to Cairo. There are some that had their interview back in February and even last November. That's what is so sad and depressing.

I guess they are trying to "give the americans ample time" to do background checks of their own on their SO's to make sure its a legit thing due to all of the fraud cases . I know that doesn't help... sorry. (just trying to see any possible speck of light in the embassies stupidity)...I seriously hope they get on it and get u all some answers soon. I never understood why they couldn't at least give an honest answer.

I decided today that I hate my job and the way I'm treated. They still haven't gotten my insurance coverage str8ened out and I know I sure could use it after my fall down the stairs the other day. I have really screwed up my back and can't see the doc to get any pain meds or anything to relax the muscles. I'm sooooooo mad. And then the manager comes in today and gets all pissy that I didn't get 1 set of papers filed. Heck, I'm doing the work of 3 in her stupid pharmacy now. I had other more important things to do than file that stupid paper!!! Get me some more help and I'll be happy to file ur ####### where it belongs!!!... I almost quit today...*sigh* I wanna go home

Hello All,

It must just be the day or something, cause I am feeling down about the visa today as well. I told Ahmed tonight I just want to be able to hold his hand sooooooooo bad. Now if THAT isn't a wish list for Santa.......lol

"Here Without You" - 3 Doors Down

A hundred days have made me older

Since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lies have made me colder

And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate

Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight it's only you and me

The miles just keep rollin'

As the people leave their way to say hello

I've heard this life is overrated

But I hope that it gets better as we go

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl its only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go

It gets hard but it wont take away my love

And when the last one falls

When it's all said and done

It gets hard but it wont take away my love

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl its only you and me

i wanna get in on this!!!!!

today i dropped my husband off at the airport to go home for one month . the whole time leading up today i thought it would be fine for us to spend some time apart - we've both been really stressed lately with the move (we just moved and have a lot of work to do on the house) and with it being Ramadan and him working days AND nights it hasn't been easy. Then today i started feeling sad and LOST IT at the airport like i used to do when i'd have to leave Paris when we were doing long distance... it was horribly embarrasing, but i was past the point of caring.

i came home, got into bed and fell asleep. then i woke up and huge chunk of a tiramisu. well like half - i ate half a tiramisu.

That's just fine honey tiramisu is so light and fully you need to eat half of it to get any good sugar high goin' on. You done good kid!!!

[doodlebug 3]

well my cat's asleep, kids are asleep, husband's asleep...i should go to bed since I have to wake up at 4:45 to eat and take my meds. Did I mention my hair has started to fall out????? Like 30 strands came out two days ago in the bathtub and tonight I was just fluffing my hair and same thing happened. Can you say STRESS??????

Have you had the same kind of day I have? I am so depressed today. I just feel like the visa is never coming. Just got off the phone with my hubby and he is feeling the same way today. And today is his birthday or at least there it is already his birthday!!

What is it with this week??? I to feel down...and Im not eve in AP yet. No noa2 yet as a matter of fact... Just soo hard to be apart....Why can't these people understand...why can't the government make it a smoother system? What is so hard about running a name check? Why go do home visits then let people wait months to hear anything else?? Just WHAT is it that needs investigated sooo much that it takes 4,5,7,10 months??? :crying: I'll join this pity party....

Count me in.

Today sucked big time.

I called DOS today.....don't know why, but I did.. For 3 and 1/2 months they've been saying that checks are cleared and that there's no reason why Cairo can't issue the visa..........today the "visa specialist" asks me......"did he ever show up to his interview?"

I'm gonna lose it pretty soon.
